1. Age it 24 to 48 hours.

2. Add one teaspoon salt per gallon

3. Add NovAqua.

4. Add beneficial bacteria.

5. Add half dose Ich Cure.

6. Float fish for 5 minutes.

7. Release fish.

8. Watch for bullies.

Float your fish in their plastic bags about five minutes to equalize their temperature.  Then release them.  Keep your eyes peeled for bullies, injured fish, and sick fish.

Watch for Bullies.  Some fish -- like some people -- want to push their tank mates around.  Letting one fish beat another to death ranks as an act of cruelty and shows signs of very poor fishkeeping skills.

We Guarantee Our Fish.  However, we really hate to see one get brought back that was beaten to death.  Ditto on letting one big honker eat up all the little ones.  It’s your job to protect them from each other.  Keep your eyes open and remove any mean fish NOW.

Medicate Carefully.  With the exception of Ich Cure, we find many medications cause more problems than they cure.  Effective antibiotics also kill or inhibit the action of the bacteria in your under gravel filters.  When you use a good antibiotic, it’s like starting over with a brand new tank.  Before you treat your fish we’d like to:

1. Test your water, and                

2. Eyeball your fish.

Many diseases can be cleared up just by cleaning your tank.  Don’t use a medication unless you know exactly what you’re treating.  Eye drops won’t cure jock itch, no matter how many drops you use.

Remove Uneaten Food.  Decaying food on the bottom increases the bacteria in the water and decreases the oxygen.  If you overfeed, you usually see cloudy water first.  Clean their tank by using a gravel vacuum cleaner before it starts smelling bad.

Your carbon cartridges remove odors but they can’t keep up with a heavy-hand on the food can.  Uneaten food causes more problems than any other mistake you can make.  Feed them often but lightly.  Two LIGHT feedings per day work out well.

If Your Tank is Not NEW, it’s not always a good idea to mix new fish with established fish.  Quarantine questionable fish in a quarantine tank.

Using a bare tank with a sponge filter makes sure you won’t introduce some strange disease into your healthy aquarium.  Picking up one of those “week-end specials” may mean you bring home more than you bargain for.  Follow these steps whether you quarantine them or not.

1. Keep them from chilling on the trip home.

2. Float fish for 5 minutes.

3. Add NovAqua

4. Add a half dose Ich Cure.

5. Release your fish.

6. Watch for bullies.
